Feeding method of Lu Hua chicken
Generally, the forest orchard can be used for free-range breeding of Lu Hua chickens, but it is best to choose a forest orchard with high terrain, south facing the sun and good ventilation. A simple henhouse will be built in the forest and fruit fields. Bamboo and wood will be tied into a double-slope or single-slope ceiling frame in a dry place in the lee, with a height of about 2 meters. Asbestos tiles will be used to cover the roof, and colored strips will be woven into a plastic fence. The floor in the house is flat and paved with cement in good condition. In the daily management of Lu Hua chickens, adequate clean drinking water and high-quality feed, as well as good ventilation, weight and padding management are obviously important factors to obtain high-quality eggs. According to the experience of visiting many farmers, in chicken farms with unsatisfactory production performance, some basic needs of breeders are usually ignored. Chickens can be fed some whole millet and mixed with some powder appropriately. In addition to feeding complete mixed powder, broilers should also feed as much forage as possible and raise chickens on a small scale. In summer and autumn, leaves of some stem and leaf grasses, such as hn-mc chicory, hn-mc Mexican corn grass, hn-mc Viburnum, hn-mc russian cuisine, and even Chinese cabbage and sweet potato leaves, can be appropriately selected to feed chickens in pieces to promote nutritional balance. Promote them to eat more and grow faster. Little hens can be fed with pellet feed and forage, but the dosage of pellet feed should be limited before laying eggs. Generally, it is appropriate to feed pellet feed and forage 1/2 respectively. It is best for adult hens to use mixed powder instead of granular materials, so as to avoid eating too much and being too fat, which will affect their eggs.

In the stage of brooding and feeding, the feed fed from hatching to the first 20 days is puffed feed. It is best to scald the feed where there is no puffed feed and dry it to reduce intestinal diseases.
At the initial stage of feeding, 20% of green feed (i.e. Chinese cabbage, pumpkin, carrot, celery, zucchini, etc. Edible vegetables can be used as green feed for chickens, and mixed with miscellaneous grains such as corn flour) can be added in the last twenty days after the end of the brooding and feeding stages. Various vegetables contain a lot of vitamins and various nutrients, which can greatly increase the delicious and edible taste of Lu Hua chickens and can also be fed.
In the feeding stage of the growth period, the addition of various green feeds in the growth period can reach about 45% within three months after the initial breeding stage. Pay attention to the humidity of the mixture and don't drop water in your hand. It is more scientific to reduce the green feed to about 35% during the laying period.
